An Apple Valley man has been spared prison time for shooting a man during an argument at a mobile home park in Mounds View last year.
Alex Robert Quevedo-Holmes, 21, was sentenced Monday in Ramsey County District Court to nearly a year in the workhouse and four years of probation for the daytime shooting of a 22-year-old, who was struck in the thigh in the 2100 block of Buckingham Lane on March 13, 2025.

Quevedo-Holmes had pleaded guilty to second-degree assault and Quevedo-Holmes’ attorney asked Judge Thomas Gilligan Jr. for a downward departure from state sentencing guidelines, arguing the victim was the primary aggressor before and during the incident. The judge granted the departure request, which was objected to by the prosecution, and stayed a three-year prison term for four years.
According to the criminal complaint, a woman told police the man who was shot is her former boyfriend and that she has a child with him. She said she met Quevedo-Holmes at a bar a week earlier and that he spent the night at her residence.
The man texted her that he was going to beat up Quevedo-Holmes and then arrived just before noon. The two men argued outside, the woman got between them to break it up and told her ex to leave. He approached Quevedo-Holmes, who shot him.
The man was taken to Hennepin County Medical Center with severe blood loss.
Quevedo-Holmes ran from the scene, leading to a search by several law enforcement agencies, a SWAT response and “a shelter in place” issued. He was arrested without incident in South St. Paul the next day.
